Vibration Isolation

I came across these the other day and for the price I couldn't pass up trying them.  I've spent as much as $75 each for vibration isolation pucks and seen pucks going as high as $900 each.  I have to say that these $0.62 wonders work as well as anything I've tried and much better than the cork ones I've seen advertised for $6-$7 each.  Even though my VPI turntable has factory cones and feet I did notice an improvement in smoothness and clarity.  Too few bargains in high end audio not to share. I now have these under my monoblock amps, turntable and turntable motor.  Hope this helps someone looking for an inexpensive way to dampen vibration.

About a year ago I purchased the blue and the natural cork color (different materials) from the same company that is in the opening post. They do work well, the company also offers a variety of sizes, for example, I have one that's 18" x 18" etc.
One word of caution seems like all of these types of isolation devices (rubber/cork/rubber) will leave black marks on your wooden platforms, that I have nor figured out how to remove.
